Private Healthcare is unfair

[Soad]

Some jobs provide added healthcare while the rest of the employees have the NHS this to me is not fair and health should not be based on your status or income but the same treatment and medication should be available to all of us regardless.

For instance somebody at work with this benefit of added health care had cancer treated privately using exclusive drugs and my mum who also had cancer was with the NHS and these drugs are only available for private use and the work college is completely cleared and cured of cancer but my mum unable to have the “Extra healthcare “hence she died

This is unfair and unjust

what is also unfair is X paying for their private health care, however once they make a claim or are treated them they can't get insurance again

Private Health care organisations should not be so easily slagged off.

Quite often they offer a better and quicker service than the NHS (having been in the care of a NHS hospital for 8 Months now.)

It is true that the NHS should be offering a more user friendly service with shorter waiting lists and quicker diagnostic reports.

Above all I believe in a free NHS for all. And if they wish to take us private and get a better service then this can only be better for our health.

It is sad to see the NHS not offer the top notch service we all deserve whatever you're background.

The NHS is not free. It spends a vast amount of taxpayers' money and when measured objectively it doesn't offer good value for money.

Definitely time for change.

Soad, my deepest sympathy for your loss I cant even begin to imagine how I'd feel in your shoes


The NHS is, and always will be, a bottomless pit of money

The main issue is how the money is managed by those in charge and that applies to most (if not all) public sector areas

But we do have to accept that we wont be able to save everybody, everytime - rather than slagging of the likes off NICE (biggest oxymoron ever) people should look to the drug companies making such mad profits from drugs that could so easily save and enrich millions of lives
